No box on a BASF spool, 10,2 cm, speed 9,5 cm/sec. It is in a reasonable condition. The tape is recorded by Alfons van Nunen OFM in Genjem and in Kugapa in 1957.
Side A starts with songs with tifa accompaniment from Genjem, sound quality is mediocre. It ends at 8’10 followed by silence, after 11 minutes it continues with Moni songs partly accompanied by handclapping and beating sticks, and with talking in between. Sometimes the recording of a song has been ended abruptly. Side B is a recording of talking people with one dominating voice. They talk about Zamo a kind of feast which is organised once or twice every year. Language Moni.
The tape is part of the audio collection of the foundation PACE Papua Cultural Inheritance. For more information or any messages or correspondence contact huublems81@gmail.com or srgales@ziggo.nl.
